Thrythlind Books and Games

I am a self-published author seeking funding for the behind the scenes maintenance and daily living costs associated with my work. 

The money will go towards:

Equipment - Netbooks, Software, etc

Services - Editing services, Formatting servieces, Advertising services, Translation services, Website services

Registrations - Trademark registration, ISBNs

Art - Cover art, internal art

Living Expenses - I have a day job for this, but hopefully this will become more and more my day job.

Stuff for when and if this becomes my day job:

Conventions - Currently the specifics of my day job prevent me from attending conventions where I have a chance to sell much.  But if I can start earning enough to support myself, I would be looking to this for travel, hotel and convention costs.

Inventory on hand - Currently, my inventory is based on purchasing when I need to get ready for an event.  As such, I rarely have anything on hand.  Which makes it harder to run my own store.

Current targets

Trademarking my logo and name: (~$149 each so ~$300)ISBNs for 5 novels, a roleplaying game supplement, a short story index and 9 short stories (~$350 for 10 ISBNs, so ~$700)

Formatting services to put all into smashwords formatting.  (~$200 total)

A netbook for better ease of writing on the go. (~$300 - $400)

Editing services for all of my books. (~$500)

Advertising services. (~$100 per month)
